Practical Step. The unrest stemmed in large part from Nasser's failure to deliver on his pledge of national rebirth, proclaimed just after similar rioting in February. His new National Congress has done little but issue loud exhortations for Egypt to mobilize, which is what it was set up to plan, and a Central Committee of 150 men has likewise spent most of its time in talk...

Along with the "martini-bopper's special," Fireman's own Tin Lizzie restaurant revels in marginalia: "Sit down in our barber chair and enjoy the last living 5? shoeshine, done with real champagne." Minneapolis' Cork & Fork follows each listing with an entry like "Lionel Barrymore, on one of his many visits to the Cork & Fork before it was opened, was once heard to remark, in his off-the-cuff style of humor: 'Say, this is good...
